"Nonsense, madness, there's never been an order from me for you to do these things, don't make baseless accusations."
"Leader, this isn't what we agreed upon!"
"Shut up!"
Enraged, Lin Buyan clutches the jade pendant in his hand, activating the Yangxin Institute formation to stop Lu Bei from framing him.
Sure, this might give off an impression of outraged guilt, but Lin Buyan has no choice. He is well-versed in the art of negotiation, knows fully the principle 'If you do not cut when you should, you will suffer for it,' especially when he cannot argue his way out, he absolutely cannot let the other party continue talking.
While he can still act, he'll activate the formation and go straight to battle.
In this way, the three elders would still be on his side, he wouldn't have to be the only one taking a beating.
Booming sounds!!
